Regional rents outperform city

While growth in capital city house rents has been sluggish in the past 12 months, many rural towns have seen strong increases.

According to researcher RP Data, the largest rental increases were recorded in the southern NSW town of Wagga Wagga and showed 11.1% growth over the past 12 months, reported the AFR.

"Despite the fact that property market analysis focuses on capital city markets, these results don't always reflect what is occurring in markets outside the capital city," RP Data's Cameron Kusher said.
